Configuring The Reader To Reset The Type I Drive - Intermec Janus 2010 User Manual

JANUS 2010 Hand-Held Computer User's Manual
Intermec recommends using ATA, flash, or SRAM cards in your reader.
Choose the type of memory card that meets your data storage needs:
Memory Card
ATA
Flash
SRAM
Note: Intermec recommends that you use ATA and SRAM cards for most data storage
needs. You should only use a flash card as a low-cost alternative. If you decide to use a
flash card, Intermec recommends flash cards that store 1MB or more of data.

Configuring the Reader to Reset the Type I Drive

When you replace the NiCad battery pack, the reader cannot determine if you
also replaced the Type I PC card. Therefore, if you remove the battery pack
while running an application that has open files, your data may become
corrupted when you turn the reader back on.
You can configure the reader to specify how it will operate when the Type I PC
card drive contains a PC card and you replace the battery pack. The reader can
automatically reset the Type I PC card drive, prompt you to reset the drive, or
not reset the drive. By default, the reader does not reset the drive. Follow these
steps to configure the reader:
1. Load the CS_IPM.EXE program into memory.
2. Use the "Internal Drive Reset After Battery Change" command in Chapter 12.

Type of Data Storage
Use an ATA flash card to store large
amounts of data that change frequently.
ATA cards retain their data without the
use of a backup battery and are available
in larger memory sizes.
Use a flash card to store data that does
not change as frequently.
Flash cards retain their data without the
use of a backup battery.
Use an SRAM card to store data that
changes frequently.
An SRAM card has a lithium battery to
back up data for the life of the battery.
